In reply to iksander:
Oh, there's so much scope here.
For a start I know sooo many people (mostly female but quite a few males too) who simply can't use a thermostat, particularly a thermostatic radiator valve, in any other way than to crank it full on or full off.
But to answer the questions:
1) No bid.
2) There is actually some truth to this, user comfort isn't just about the air temperature measured with a thermometer but also about heat loss to surfaces in the room (known as the "cold radiator" effect). On a cold day the walls and windows of the room are colder so to feel more comfortable you actually need to be at a slightly higher temperature. Not only that but any draughts are going to be colder too.
3) As a male I totally sympathise with this approach. The radiators give off more heat with higher flow temperatures. The trouble though is that higher flow temperatures mean that the radiators will overshoot more. So for best effect you really want the flow temperature set to highest during the time the room is heating up but dropping back to lowest as it approaches the desired temperature. Not only that but the controls are fun to play with and it keeps him out of trouble and out of your way (I assume from the wording of the question that you're a girl?).
